Last month, we were over 75% to completing our financial goal of saving $1,000 in each of our 4 accounts. That was before the vacation, we took money from our Operation SUV and some from our US Bank account. Before the vacation, I was pretty sure we could achieve this goal by the end of the year, now…not so much. I didn’t really earn much this month, the Best Buy rewards pretty much saved my @ss.
